Sima Taparia has returned to make magic happen with Indian Matchmaking season 3, but what is the cost of her services? Hint: it’s a pretty penny.
Dating in the 21st century is pretty difficult for most people. Finding someone to marry is a whole different kettle of fish which some people on Indian Matchmaking have found borderline impossible.
That’s where renowned matchmaker Sima Taparia comes in and she’s working her magic on more clients in season 3 of the show. Now, Netflix fans want to know the cost of Sima’s fees.
Some of the cast members are new, while others viewers would have seen before on season 2. So, let’s find out more about Sima’s services and how much Rushali Rai, Viral Joshi, and the clan could be splashing out on finding a partner.
Who is the Indian Matchmaker?
Viewers were first introduced to Sima Aunty in 2020 when she appeared in Indian Matchmaking season 1.
Sima had her work cut out to help the Indian Matchmaking season 2 cast find suitable partners to marry. Sima’s work with Aparna, Pradhyuman, and Nadia was certainly difficult. However, even more, clients are added to her books in 2023.
Sima lives in Mumbai and was born to an “industrial” and “famous” family per her website. On the Netflix show, Sima says it how it is and tells her clients what she thinks and calls them out if she thinks they’re being unrealistic or superficial.
Sima’s been married almost 40 years
Of course, no one would want to take advice from a relationship expert if they didn’t have a successful one themselves.
Sima got married when she was 19 and she’s now 57, so she’s been married for 38 years.
Her husband, Anup, is a businessman. The two had an arranged marriage. During Indian Matchmaking, Sima said that in India there isn’t “marriage” and “arranged marriage”, there is “marriage” and “love marriage”.
What is Sima on Indian Matchmaking’s cost?
Although Sima is a Mumbai-based matchmaker, she travels the world connecting people. During the Netflix show, she can be seen spending time in the USA with clients.
The Cinemaholic writes: “A typical Indian online matrimony costs close to $100 for 3 months of service.”
Sima describes herself as “Mumbai’s top matchmaker”, so there’s a hefty price tag that comes with her expertise.
Her fees are “somewhere near Rs 100,000 to Rs 500,000” reports The Economic Times, which is about $1200 to $6100.
Although her season 1 couples were unsuccessful, Sima Aunty worked her magic in the next installment. One couple has returned as part of the season 3 cast.
